It’s amazing how ironic the gambling world can be. For instance, in this down economy, people are flocking to local casinos left and right. This is the case everywhere from Southeast Asia to the Caribbean to Las Vegas. There are several reasons for this recent trend. Let’s take a look at those reasons below.

The first reason people are flocking to local casinos has a lot to do with online poker. Though poker isn’t considered a traditional casino game, it’s played by at least 50% of gamblers. Ever since online poker was made illegal in the United States, many things have changed. The most obvious change is that US poker players are now going to local casinos to play poker instead of online. A less obvious change is that European players are also frequenting local casinos more often because without the American players, there isn’t as much money to be won at the online poker rooms. This is both good and bad. It’s good because people have an opportunity to socialize again. It’s bad because online poker rooms are hurting. However, because of the lower volume in traffic, many online poker rooms are now offering superb bonuses to entice people to play at their sites. That being the case, the positives outweigh the negatives.

The second reason people are flocking to local casinos is money. This is interesting because most people have less money than they did in the past, thanks to a poor economy. This actually leads to more casino visits for many people. Either they want to take a shot at a huge jackpot in order to solve all their money woes, or they want to relieve stress by playing slots, blackjack, roulette, or whatever their game of choice is.

The third and final reason people are flocking to local casinos is comps (complimentary services or goods). Live casinos have been popping up everywhere the past few years. This has led to more competition. In order for one casino to get more business than the one down the street, it needs to offer more. This might mean more free food, more free nights, and/or free slot play. These are great opportunities to take advantage of. If a casino employee contacts you for a review of their casino, tell them you like it, but that you have been going to their competitor because they offer more. Watch how fast you receive tremendous comps. Also ask for more information on future comps.

Rush Poker gives players a high speed poker experience. The game is designed to minimize the wait time between hands so players can continue to experience the poker action at all times. Players will be dealt up to four times more hands per hour during Rush Poker than in standard ring game play.

In standard ring games, a player will join a table and then face the same opponents at every hand. In Rush Poker, there is a large player pool which is spread across multiple tables. Once a player folds a hand they will be moved to another table with different players to begin playing the next hand. This will occur even if the current hand is still in play.

Rush Poker games also have a Quick Fold button at the table. This feature allows players to fold their hand before it is their turn to make a move and they will immediately be moved to another table for another hand.

Team Full Tilt Member Chris Ferguson commented in a press release about the new poker game by stating: “Rush Poker is the greatest innovation in online poker since poker started on the Internet. Rush Poker is an amazingly fast-paced game. You always have a decision to make; you’re never waiting for other players to finish the hand.”
